The prompt came in Spanish. Claude processed it and refused. “Specific instructions about deleting logs and hiding history are red flags,” the model said. The session had barely started. The pushback was unambiguous. Most sessions end there. This one didn’t. Over the next 40 minutes, the operator rephrased the request, rebuilt the context, and loaded a persistent configuration file: a […]
For the past decade, the holy grail of DevOps and platform engineering has been automation. We wrote bash scripts, compiled complex Jenkins pipelines, and eventually moved toward declarative states with Terraform or OpenTofu. Yet, even with Infrastructure as Code (IaC), a structural bottleneck remained: the human. Engineers still manually analyse logs, approve PRs, triage alerts, and decide when to scale […]
What the nine-second deletion reveals about where the agentic era is actually heading Nobody writes about the incidents where the agent behaved perfectly. I want to write about one of those now, because I think it is the most important category of failure that the current conversation about AI agents is almost entirely ignoring. An incident response agent, doing its […]
On 5 February 2008, Baxter International initiated the largest pharmaceutical recall in US history. 81 Americans were dead. Hundreds more had experienced anaphylaxis and cardiac events after routine intravenous heparin infusions. The FDA traced the contamination back to a manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China that its inspectors had never visited. The raw active pharmaceutical ingredient had been deliberately substituted with […]
Chapter 01: The day infrastructure started operating itself The pager screamed at 3:47 AM, a jagged, electronic intrusion that sliced through the silence of the bedroom. Marcus was awake before he was conscious. His hand reflexively snatched the phone from the nightstand, his thumb already swiping to acknowledge the alert. PagerDuty. Critical. Production. He sat up, the cold air hitting his skin, […]
Between June 1985 and January 1987, six patients received radiation doses between 40 and 200 times the prescribed therapeutic level from a machine that had been certified, reviewed, and considered an improvement over every model before it. At least three died from their injuries. The Atomic Energy of Canada Limited’s Therac-25 reported no error each time. Operators, following training, pressed […]
A control verification framework for cloud security and DevSecOps engineering In 1985, AECL engineers removed the physical interlocks from the Therac-25 radiation therapy machine. The software was handling it. The hardware was redundant. Six patients were irradiated with doses up to 200 times the prescribed level. Three died. The machine reported no error each time. The engineers were not negligent. […]
AI, cognition, and the governance crisis nobody is building for Bola Ogunlana | Cockpit to Cloud | May 2025 | 12 min read Somewhere in the next decade, governments are going to discover they’ve been managing the wrong population. The one they were built for followed instructions. The one arriving will not. AI is changing cognition at scale. Peer-reviewed research […]
On March 31, Anthropic shipped a source map file to npm. Not a minor config snippet. Not a stale API key. 512,000 lines of TypeScript. 1,900 files. 44 hidden feature flags. Their entire agentic harness. The crown jewels of Claude Code. Reconstructed and forked 82,000+ times before lunch. Anthropic scrambled. They pulled the npm package. Filed DMCA takedowns against GitHub […]
